About Me
Introduction:
I am Zelda Theron and I have been teaching children both in and out of the traditional classroom for more than a decade. I love making teaching fun and memorable.
After completing my studies at the University of Stellenbosch I started my teaching career. I taught at various schools through out South Africa. I recently completed my TEFL Certificate for teaching English as a foreign language.
Furthermore, I also home schooled my own children. Art and music are very important to me, part of my education and I incorporate it where possible as a teacher. I do believe that my education and experience is quite relevant.
